Photographer's Note

A view fom my high rise hotel in Chongqing. (The Shipin Dasha). There are 2 regular passenger cablecars across the Yangzi River, that only cost 1.4 yuan (about 15 cents US), & are used by locals commuting to & from the cbd. I later went on 1 of these cablecars, & got some good shots of the riverside expressway & docks. (I have already uploaded several images).

Hi Chris,
A well composed shot that well portrays the stark contrast between the modernism of the high rises and the older tenement style buildings. I like the lighting and shadow effects on these foreground structures. The freighters in the harbour are indeed visible in the fog as well. Superb graphism in this interesting shot, Chris. Very well captured.

Hi Chris
This city is very dirty. Beurk !
You captured this very well. The cable car seem made for coal transporting !! The misty atmosphere, as most of time in China, enhance the dirty and poor aspect.
Cheers

Hello Chris, This is a good testimony of life in our world, showing that photo has not to be always from a beautiful place. Those building are really ugly, the sky is great and foggy, it looks pretty "deprimant" (don't know it in english). Thank for this sad view of our world.

Great view, Chris this is so typical of 'modern' China. Pollution and congestion of urban buildings...cities r nasty places...
Good capture of the quite famous cable car of Chongqing. Also v. gd capture of the sad atmoshpere there.
Rgrds,

Hi Chris, I have many reasons to visit Chongqing. However, I have never set foot to this special city yet. Thanks for this picture to show the combination of the old and the new, and the special foggy character in one picture. Nice PoV and good DoF.

Hi Chris...
It's a perfect composition and wonderful contrast between the buildings, my friend... The light and perspective are also perfect... Of course perfect shot as usual...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.

What an atmosphere!
You are right,I can see those ship,what a distance !
a special superb foggy view in an urban situation,
The cabel car is very strong in this composition although it's very small in scale,but it shows itself strongly,and now it goes to theme :)

Great shot of the air pollution that is so endemic in many parts of China these days Chris. These are the sorts of shots that I don't think the Chinese tourism ministry really want to see on TE, but it is the 'real' China (away from the new high rises of Shanghai that is). Good contrast on the buildings in the foreground. I hope the cable car felt safer than some of the ones that I have been on in China! Cheers . . . David
